1t is no longer question of doubt
although the contrary WAS once believed
that medicines which would produce
violent effects are unsuited to other than
esperateemergencies In other words, that
super potent remedies are calculated to
weaken and iniure the system rather than
reform lis irregularities. Among medi
cines of facilitating effect are catbsrtics
and cholagogues which copiously and
abruptly evacuate the bowels Because
1t does not do this, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is preferable to the drenching
class of purgatives. Painless in its effects,
it is sufficiently active to remedy chronic
constipation. 1t relieves by invigorating
the iutestines, and enables, not forces,
them to perform the duty imposed upon
them by nature. Promoting the secre-
ton OF bile in normal quantities by its
beautifully stimulating effect upon the
liver. it is eminently conducive to diges-
lion, and contributes in no small degree
to keep the bowels regular.

commanded by Lieut.. Col. Foster
Battery A, of Danville, under command
of Capt Winters, were on the ground
west of the range yesterday. The move o
ments were good, but the horses were
not vet accustomed to the work, which
makes it more difficult. Battery A is one
of the best. and consists of four field
pieces. one Calling gun, and thrty~two
men, who are well drilled, aud it repays
one to witness their maneuvers.
In passing through the camp Col
Clendenin noticed light in one of the
tents at an hour when it should have been

HELD UPON THE HIGHWAY
Theodore Dueck Halted and Robbed
on the Public Street.
A Bold Deed at o o'clock Last Night
Escape of the DesperadOes- They
Didn't Get Much, Though.

A bold and daring piece of highway
robbery was committed on the streets of
Rock Island and almost in the centre of
town shortly after o o'clock last evening.
As Theodore Dueck, teamster for the
wholesale liquor firm of P. Fries & Co.,
was returning from visit to friends IN
the east part of town to the house of
Mr.. Fries and Mr.. Schmidt on Seventh
avenue and Eighteenth street, he was
overhauled on Fifth avenue between
Twenty-first and Twenty second streets
by three rufiians, one of whom
placing revolver under his nose,
threatened to blow out his brains
is he dared to move, while the other two
went through him. The highwaymen
relieved their victim of all his pocket pos
sessions of any vslue-a watch chain,
some small change and check for S25
drawn by P. Fies & Co. on the Rock ISL
and National bank and payable to the
order of Dueck.
Having satisfied themselves that they
had obtained all that there was in Dueck S
pockets they fed. Dreck pursued them
for some distance, but they dispersed and
he lost track of them, The payment of
the check was stopped this morning so
that the loss is not great, but the crime
together with the recent robberies or at
tempted robberies committed in Daven-
port, Rock Island and Moline shows that
there is gang of organized burglars
and highwaymen working ths three cities
and it is about time they were taught to
cease their deyiltry.
